A cross with an American flag attached to it sits idle near the gravesite of a veteran at the Kyle Cemetery on May 30. Last week, many Americans took time to honor and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces in various Memorial Day events. In Kyle, the VFW Post 12058 held a Memorial Day ceremony where they read the names of area residents who died in battle and veterans who have passed away. A local Boy Scout troop on Sunday placed U.S. flags at the gravesides of veterans at the Kyle Cemetery. (photo by Moses Leos III)
